What makes the party people move when they enter the place?
Contains full sound treble and a touch of base
What makes a note of the throat when you first arrive?
Makes it clear to the ears that the party's live
What is hidden in the back of every musical track?
That keeps the crowd cold going when the party is packed
That keeps a jam jumpin' and a line out the door
It's the beat! (Word!) And that's for sure
It's not the scratch (scratching)
It's not the cut (cutting)
It's not the rhymes
It's the beat! (Word!) And that's for sure
(scratching)
It's at the bottom of the base of every lyrical sound
The force that makes you move, it makes your heart pound
The force that keeps you in a theoretical grip
As we embark after dark on a Hollis Crew trip
The force that invades every musical tone
It sounds so def when the beat's alone
It's not the fresh rhymes or the cuts galore
It's the beat! (Word!) And that's for sure
It's not the scratch (scratching)
It's not the cut (cutting)
It's not the rhymes
It's the beat! (Word!) And that's for sure
It's the crushing of the symbols, the pounding of the bass
The highs and the lows smashing in your face
Taking total control of your body and soul
He beats ya from the street but his ? of gold
It's the beat! It's not the scratch
It's the beat! With rhymes attached
Huhh!
(scratching)
It's what you're looking for
(When you walk through the door)
You can only find it once
(You can't find it no more)
You'll be frontin' on yourself if you try to ignore
The beat! And that's for sure
Huhh!
(scratching)
It's just a place in the place because the treble and the base
Makes the people crowd around until there ain't no space
For you to move to the groove (and we approve!)
That this groove that we use will enthuse
It's the beat!
It's the beat!
That you hear when the party began
It's the beat!
To let you know the DJ's ready to spin
It's the beat!
To let you know when you're ready to go
It's what I love
Two-three so now ya know
It's the beat!
The Hollis beat! (word!) And that's for sure! (huh!)
The Hollis beat! (word!) And that's for sure! (huh!)
(scratching and cutting)
